The scores of the first phase did not do anything for me.
But from Phase 2 onwards and definitely in Phase 3 Marvel came around and put a lot more care into choosing composers and telling them what they could do.

Since when do film directors know anything about music?

You know what? I like them for the most part. Silvestri's scores are always really great: Infinity War is both epic and heartbreaking. Tyler and Giacchino also contributed some fine work (MG's Dr. Strange is one of my favorites). Beck really surprised me, though, with Ant-Man. Fabulous. Same with Tyler Bates' first Guardians score.
I don't think I've ever said "this isn't as good as Williams or Goldsmith." Because that's a paper argument. The music suits the films and I find them entertaining and enjoyable to listen to, for the most part (Jackman's scores did little for me). I honestly don't need much more than that.

I really like some of the Marvel soundtracks. Sure, there's nothing groundbreaking (and precious little particularly fresh) but Dark World and Ragnarok's scores were pretty darn fun to listen to. Silvestri's First Avenger is a fine work, too imo. Yes, there are some glaringly lame scores here and there...same with any group of superhero movies.
I LOVE the MCU (overall far better than the DC movies besides Dark Knight, Man of Steel, and of course the first two Supermans), and thought Infinity War was one of the best movies this past year.
But I'm biased, as I've read these comics long before they were movies.

Wasn't there some level of boasting as to how different Mark Mothersbaugh's Thor was going to be? Seems like that score just came and went like all the others.

Well, she's not the only one. I'm sorry, but I do not 'dig' modern super-hero scores myself. I have no objection to them as film scores, but they're not the kind of film scores I take home.
Cheers

I like the sound of this woman. After the Elfman and Goldenthal Batman scores, I'm sorry but the superhero genre has GENERIC music. If ANY of those films had even the slightest thing in common with those Batman (not to mention John Williams Superman) scores they would have been discussion for years, with us all frothing all over them and demanding expansions.
And most these days get mmmm ok. Which is why the last superhero score fo me was Batman Forever.
